Early-life:
Edward Charles Morice Fox was born on April 13, 1937, in Chelsea, west London. He is part of the Fox theatrical dynasty. Edward has two younger brothers - James is also an actor, while Robert is a producer. His mother, Angela, is said to have been the inspiration for Noel Coward's song Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage Mrs Worthington. Following a spell in the Coldstream Guards, Fox studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Career:
Fox was an extra in The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (which featured his brother James), and had a bigger role in 1963's This Sporting Life, the same year he made his TV debut in Suspense. He quickly became famous in the UK thanks to Edward & Mrs Simpson, The Jokers, The Portrait of a Lady, Oh! What a Lovely War, and The Go-Between, but it was The Day of the Jackal in 1973 which brought him international acclaim. Since then, Fox has appeared in A Bridge Too Far, The Duellists, Gandhi, Never Say Never Again, A Passage to India, Lost in Space, Stage Beauty and Oliver Twist. He continues to act on stage.
Quote:
'Actors either know the job or they don't. I would rather not be there if they don't know what they are doing.'
